Command Line Interface Guide

Omconfig Preferences
Use the omconfig preferences command to set system preferences. Use the command line to set the SNMP root
password and specify the user levels able to access Server Administrator. You can also configure the Active Directory
service and SNMP set operations.
Omconfig Preferences Cdvformat
Use the omconfig preferences cdvformat to specify the delimiters for separating data fields reported in the custom
delimited format. The valid values for delimiters are: exclamation, semicolon, at, hash, dollar, percent, caret, asterisk,
tilde, question, colon, comma, and pipe.
The following example shows how to set the delimiter for separating data fields to asterisk:
omconfig preferences cdvformat delimiter=asterisk
Omconfig Preferences Dirservice
Use the omconfig preferences dirservice command to configure the Active Directory service. The
<productname>oem.ini file is modified to reflect these changes. If the "adproductname" is not present in the
<productname>oem.ini file then a <computername>-<computername> refers to the name of the computer running
Server Administrator and <productname> refers to the name of the product defined in omprv32.ini. For Server
Administrator, the product name is "omsa".
Therefore, for a computer named "myOmsa" running Server Administrator, the default name is "myOmsa–omsa". This is
the name of Server Administrator defined in Active Directory by using the snap-in tool. This name must match the name
for the application object in Active Directory in order to find user privileges.
NOTE: This command is applicable only on systems running the Windows operating system.
The following table displays the valid parameters for the command:
